He'd have to have a Super Crisis to play one on an XO. Ending Infiltration doesn't give a crisis draw like Reveal does.

Unfortunately none of these Quorum cards seem applicable to our situation. If you really want to help, getting Helo into the sky might be best.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG (Leoben)

I think you can XO any other player, they don't have to be human. But I might be wrong and it'd probably be good to have a pilot in the sky.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I can't XO Helo; he's next. Cottle in Command wouldn't get us too much, unless we go with the old double Treatment option.

Unfortunately none of these Quorum cards seem applicable to our situation.

Well, there's one that could help if we had a plan, which we don't, sadly. But you can exchange your miracle tokens to raise Morale, can't you?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

BSG

Cylons can't be XO'd. While not infiltrating, Leoben counts as a Cylon.

BSG(Doctor in Distrust)

Why Morale specifically? There are a lot more ways to raise that one than Food or Fuel, aren't there?

And speaking of Fuel - what's our endgame condition again? Are we going to 7-plus-one-jump or 8 or something else?

Who is unhappy with their Mutiny card? It seems some are more beneficial/less harmful than others.

Why Morale specifically? There are a lot more ways to raise that one than Food or Fuel, aren't there?

Point, I was thinking Morale because it's lost more often. Fuel might be useful too.

End condition is 8 Distance plus one more jump.

Or, since you're not President anymore, you could head over to Pegasus and feed some cards into the Engine.

That is actually an intriguing idea, although it would be a waste if the next Crisis Card already has a Jump icon. Hm.

If you do go to the Engine Room, don't forget your discard for moving between ships. (This also applies if you move to Galactica.)
